(a.) Of the same blood; related by birth; descended from the same parent or ancestor.
Example Sentences:
(1) Legislation governing adoption has attempted to make the adoptive family the equivalent of a consanguinal one, with varying degrees of success.
(2) Two strikingly similar brothers issued from consanguineous parents in the second degree present the following patterns of anomalies: retardation of growth, mental deficiency, ocular abnormalities, pectus excavatum and camptodactyly.
(3) Parental consanguinity suggests that an autosomal recessive mutation is the likely aetiology.
(4) Any patient with a fairly symmetrical 'quiet' eye disease, especially if congenital, should be suspected of having an hereditary disease--presumably due to a recessive gene, even if the parents are not consanguineous, but possibly due to a mutation which could prove dominant; a search of the literature in such cases is useful.
(5) Taking advantage of the availability of an archive of consanguineous marriages that gives accurate estimates of consanguinity in Italy, it has been possible to calculate the increase of first- and second-cousin marriages among 624 couples of cystic fibrosis (CF) parents over the general population.
(6) Consanguinity of the kindreds could not be established.
(7) In this case, lower fertility might be expected in consanguineous marriages, only because of a higher probability of homozygosis of deleterious genes.
(8) The differences between consanguineous and non-consanguineous marriages in terms of total foetal loss, perinatal, neonatal, postneonatl and infant mortality rates showed only marginal differences that attain statistical significance only because of the large sample size involved.
(9) Two subjects (brother and sister), children of consanguineous parents, showed a typical congenital corneal dystrophy associated with mental retardation and a bilateral malformation of the little finger.
(10) Impaired IL-2 activity was found in 15 of the 29 consanguineous relatives.
(11) Parental consanguinity in those with genetically determined causes of visual impairment was high compared with those with nongenetic causes (79% vs 33.3%, P < .05).
(12) Three sibs, a boy and two girls, born to Moroccan consanguineous parents, were affected with a syndrome characterized by brittle hair, mental retardation, short stature, ataxia, and gonadal dysfunction.
(13) The mores that encouraged consanguineous marriages had the lowest final lethal-gene frequencies.
(14) The comparison between 1,302 adults born from consanguineous marriages underlines a heavy depression of mental abilities.
(15) In XIX century generations consanguinity was very low (alpha coefficient 7 x 10(-5) which may be explained by the exogamic tradition of the population; this acted as a factor opposed to random drift.
(16) There was no significant difference in the prevalence of congenital malformations between Hindus (2.0%) and Muslims (2.7%) but amongst Muslims with consanguinity the prevalence of congenital malformation was 4.6 per cent compared to 2.3 per cent in non-consanguineous Muslim spouses (P less than 0.05).
(17) Consanguineous marriages are strongly favoured among the peoples of South India.
(18) The gene frequency was only 7-9.10 minus 5, but the consanguinity rate was high in the families observed.
(19) Three cases of cleidocranial dysostosis from two unrelated consanguineous families are reported.
(20) Because the parents of the siblings are consanguineous, this is probably a genetically determined condition with an autosomal recessive type of transmission.
Consanguinity
Definition:
(n.) The relation of persons by blood, in distinction from affinity or relation by marriage; blood relationship; as, lineal consanguinity; collateral consanguinity.
